    Continental Conti Motion Tyres

    I'm from Montreal and have few friend that are from the UK. Unfortunately I never been to the UK, but planning on it. If you are not riding aggressively you should be fine with those shoes. I don't ride hard but scrape pegs every now and then and those never let me down. Just take it easy...

    Continental Conti Motion Tyres

    I'm on my 3rd set on my FZ6R and love them. They work great for me here in Florida where it's always warm. Up there in the land of good beer on a hight HP bike, not sure. Combo of cold weather and rain might not be your best friend with the Conti Motion. Compare to the PR2 the tire is less...

    MCN's first ride of the CBR500R and CB500F

    Looking good. I can see my wife on one of those. The 6R is a bit too much for her (first bike) She drove it once and struggle a bit. More than likely I'll get her a Ninjette 300. BDazzler: Go for the 6R, very nice machine for the $$$. I'm at 39K miles on mine and still going strong. There's not...

    Premium and Elite Membership drive

    Same for me here. I sold 25 exhaust last year, 80% are member from the 6R forum. Im an elite member and did a $100.00 donation at the end if the year last year. If business is good I'll give some more again this year. I don't make a lot of money at $450.00 for an exhaust mid... just enough to...

    Valve Clearance - Exhaust

    On my 6R, I need to out the valve cover bolts back in without the cover. If you dont block them the oil piss out and it doesnt buit psi to pop the chain tensionner out.

    Valve Clearance - Exhaust

    Line up everything before desassembly. Crank at TDC mark and cams too. Remove chain tensionner then remove the camshaft you need to adjust. Before putting the tensionner in make sure you crank it back in (if hydraulic like mine) Check, double check... then triple check the timing mark before...

    Yamaha going to triple

    Little update. Helping out someone on the FZ8 forum. 2007-8 R1 cam fit right in... Kind of cool. Still an on going project (waiting on valve shims...) but they fit in there. That might be interesting...

    Yamaha going to triple

    Agree. The gap between the 6R and FZ1 is way too much. The FZ8 is not a bad ride. I think it fit perfectly in the line up. I agree that there's not a big difference between the 8 and 1. But once the FZ1 finally get an update the whole Yamaha line up will make better sense.

    Tourmaster Venture Air Pants

    I have a pair of those too. Nice pants and perfect for colder weather and light rain. I'll need a new pair soon... I might end up loosing 35 lbs too with those in Florida this summer! Very nice pant. Good size pocket with zipper and velcro. Knee pads are adjustable too

    track day tyre pressure

    Keep track of your hot pressure, that's what matter the most at the track. This is more consistent from session to session. Check your pressure right before going out for the session. Change in temperature will effect those cold psi too. Make sure you have some air supply to adjust them if...

    Yamaha going to triple

    Don't get me wrong, this is still an amazing machine. But it loss some ground in the liter class. The FZ6R is fine for what it is. The FZ8 (2013) look like they figure out that they went a bit too cheap on the suspension and fix it.(If handling better might be a good contender for the second...
